Listen to Bloc Party’s hallucinations on legal ecstasy

Want to go backstage at Carling Weekend: Reading And Leeds Festivals? Well you can get a taste of all the behind-the-scenes action with NME Radio.

Simply launch our media player, and everyday this week at 2pm and 7pm there’s a show live from the Reading leg of this year’s festival.

Highlights include We Are Scientists’ views on breasts and pigeons’ dicks, Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke recalling the last time he hallucinated on legal ecstasy, the resulting diarrhoea, and his love for a young Kate Bush.

The show also features The Gossip on ’Ghostbusters’, and Gogol Bordello’s Eugene Hutz on the time he accidentally became a smuggler.

The likes of Holy Fuck, Gallows, Crystal Castles and Future Of The Left also feature.
